Frank 5829a0bfe8 docs: rename docs/ -> serverAppConfigs-docs/ per system-wide PROJECTNAME-docs convention
All in-repo path references (AGENTS.md, README, old scripts, report artifacts,
test code paths) rewritten in the same commit; focused-test map extended for
.gitignore, old/scripts/*, dankclaw/comfyui/*, and report/* per this repo's
own convention ('add one before committing'). Obsidian wikilinks are
title-based and unaffected.

Docker Compose

lidarr:
  image: lscr.io/linuxserver/lidarr:latest
  container_name: lidarr
  restart: unless-stopped
  environment:
    - PUID=1000
    - PGID=1000
    - TZ=America/New_York
    - UMASK_SET=022
  volumes:
    - /opt/lidarr/config:/config
    - /mnt/media/music:/music
    - /mnt/media/downloads:/downloads
  ports:
    - "8686:8686"
  networks: [appnet]

Configuration

  1. Add Prowlarr as the indexer source (prefer torrent-based indexers for FLAC).
  2. Add qBittorrent as the download client with the music category.
  3. Set quality profile (Lossless → High Bitrate → Standard).
  4. Set root folder to /music.
  5. Add artists and verify downloads.

Gotchas

  • Album variants: Lidarr supports multiple releases of the same album (vinyl vs CD). Use "Preferred" and "Cutoff" quality profiles.
  • Music videos can be optionally downloaded separately from albums.
